Magda Linette rounded off her Olympic preparations in style as she claimed her third WTA title with a comfortable win over Magdalena Frech at the Prague Open. 

Linette, who beat Viktoriya Tomova and Linda Noskova on her way to the final, won in straight sets 6-2 6-1 as she now heads to Paris to face Mirra Andreeva. 

The world number 41 was in the ascendency from the off, forcing a break in the fourth game and never looking back. 

Despite the best efforts of Frech, who saved one set point, Linette continued to apply the pressure and another break put her a set up.

Linette would again break in the fourth game of the second set, winning three games on the bounce to secure her first career win over her compatriot. 

Data Debrief: Linette prevails in first all-Polish affair

The final in Prague between Linette and Frech was the first all-Polish WTA level final in the Open Era. 

Linette's triumph over her opponent was her first, having lost in the pair's previous encounter in Saint-Malo back in 2022. 

During the contest, the world number 41 gave nothing away, saving all four of the break points she faced while converting three of the seven she had against Frech.
